Sixers sign Ware to 10-day deal, release Johnson-Odom

PHILADELPHIA – The 76ers signed point guard Casper Ware to a 10-day contract Monday and did not re-sign shooting guard Darius Johnson-Odom after his 10-day deal lapsed.

Ware (5-10, 177) joined the Sixers in San Antonio in time for Monday night's game against the Spurs. The 24-year-old has played in Italy since graduating from Long Beach State and going undrafted in 2012.

Ware has averaged 11.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 22 games this season with Virtus Bologna of Lega Basket Serie A, the highest level of pro basketball in Italy. He spent last season with A.S. Junior Casale and was named MVP of Legadue Basket.

Ware averaged 17.2 points and 4.4 assists as a senior at Long Beach State. He was twice named the Big West Player of the Year and finished as the school's all-time leader in assists.

Johnson-Odom (6-2, 215), a Marquette product, is one of only two players to rank top-eight in the NBA Development League in both scoring and assists this season. He scored no points in 15 minutes spread over three games with the Sixers.
